1973 ALCS
Mel Behney bested Tom Seaver in game one of the ALCS in California as the Yankees won it 5-2. Seaver only went 6 innings and the underdog Angels came up short in a game they really needed to get.
Luis Tiant got the better of Catfish Hunter in game two as the Yankees pounded the Angels ace to the tune of 10 runs en route to a 10-2 win and 2-0 series lead. Catcher Lou Berberet homered and knocked in 3 runs and Dave May and Joe Staton each knocked in 2 runs.
Game 3 back at Yankee Stadium was another lopsided affair as the Yankees chased Jim Palmer before he could get through the 6th inning, knocking him around for 8 runs as the Yankees went on to win the game 8-3 and complete the series sweep. Joe Staton has 2 more RBI and shortstop Billy Consolo collected 3 hits for the Yankees.
